This course provides project practitioners with an understan
ding of cultural challenges\, legal concerns\, and teaming issues that are
likely to be encountered when working with international partners. Two di
stinct facets of successful international project management are addressed
: technical knowledge and cultural understanding. Participants gain insigh
ts into the characteristics of international teaming that have the potenti
al to make or break a project through the use of lectures\, small group di
scussion\, hands-on practical exercises\, and case studies.

This course focuses on advanced concepts of project manageme
nt and systems engineering and their integration in the management of all
phases and facets of the project life cycle. This participant-driven cours

\, performance\, risk\, cost\, schedule\, reliability and operability\, as
well as stakeholder management and acquisition strategies.

g limits on time\, human resources\, materials\, budget\, and specificatio
ns. It also helps participants to develop effective measures for schedulin
g and controlling projects as they put the tools of project management to
work.

t\, when incorporated into the requirement development and management proc
ess\, will help a project team develop a winning product—one that delivers
what is needed\, when it is needed\, within the projected costs and with
the expected quality.

This workshop is aimed at building capabilities for managing
and facilitating team processes necessary to achieve successful team perf
ormance and results at NASA. The program helps NASA managers and team lea
ders understand how teams develop and become more effective over time. Th
ey learn how to apply team leadership strategies and tactics to strengthen
the cohesion and effectiveness of their own teams. Concepts\, processes\
, and practices for developing and managing superior teams are shared and
opportunities to practice and sharpen team leadership skills and competenc
ies are part of the course content that is specifically tailored for NASA.

Attendees will gain an understanding of the basics of NASA’s
aerospace mission and systems\, as well as the fundamentals of aeronautic
s and astronautics. Additionally\, attendees will better understand the NA
SA organization (including center activities)\, key programs and projects\
, and the agency’s vision for exploration.

This eight-days onsite course (plus two -days equivalent of
online work) is intended to enhance proficiency in applying PM and SE proc
esses/practices over the project life cycle. The course focuses on definin
g and implementing system projects and provides valuable insight for manag
ing and leading project and technical teams.

This course provides participants with key project managemen
t concepts\, tools\, and techniques used to manage complex projects succes
sfully. It also provides insights and tools to measure project complexity
and adopt the best techniques for ensuring control of a project and all it
s associated elements.

This course provides a basic understanding of the NASA acqui
sition/procurement process across the complete project life cycle\, from a
gency strategic planning to contract management and project completion. Th
is course will help participants figure out the optimal acquisition/procur
ement strategy\, learn how to get contracts awarded\, solve problems durin
g contract performance\, understand their roles and responsibilities as me
mbers of a project’s acquisition team\, work more effectively with contrac
ting officers\, and enable them to do a more effective job acquiring whate
ver their projects need to succeed.

This course will acquaint the student with the 44 Project Ma
nagement Institute (PMI)® processes\, their inputs\, tools\, techniques\,
and outputs that comprise approximately 80 percent of the PMP® exam. It wi
ll also give the student the opportunity to become acquainted with the sig
nificant amount of material on professional responsibility and human resou
rces that is not covered in PMI®’s A Guide to the Project Management Body
of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide).

The goal of this course is to enable NASA personnel to be mo
re creative and innovative in all their works\, including technical and ma
nagerial. “The excessive focus on analysis\, targets\, and number crunchin
g\, and the absence of introspection and imagination has resulted in a cri
sis in management” (Henry Mintzberg\, The Globe and Mail\, March 16\, 2009
). This course seeks to address this crisis.

Successful persuasion depends on the ability to present with
confidence and authenticity. For a technical workforce\, this calls for d
eveloping an advanced set of skills that are broadly applicable in context
s ranging from team meetings to senior leader briefings to professional co
nferences before larger audiences. This course will give participants a pr
actical understanding of effective public speaking skills\, covering a ran
ge of issues including: tools for persuasion\, nonverbal communication\, s
torytelling tactics\, and performance techniques to manage anxiety. Learni
ng methods include instruction\, discussion\, video clip demonstrations\,
and interactive exercises and simulations that integrate visual aids.
